Family travels, whether for vacation time away or more active endeavours, can be a huge amount of fun. It’s important to make sure that it all works and so we’ve culled a few types of trips to look at as examples. You probably have the Disney style vacation concept down pat, so I’m not going to talk about that. Have look at what kind of fun you can have with Intrepid’s special family tours.
Intrepid (and others) have been offering trips for families for a while now and have had very good reviews. These trips are perfect to let the whole family get to know new cultures and experience how other people live. Family trips are all families so there will be other kids and parents to meet and make friends with.
Travelling the Intrepid way is a bit like travelling with a group of friends. These trips are made up of 3–5 like-minded families, and the kids tend to hit it off straight away, allowing you to enjoy some well-earned R&R. We often find the whole family ends up making friendships with people from all over the world, staying in touch long after the adventure ends.
This is a global company based in Australia so a good portion of the other guests will likely be Australian. Some highlight destinations include Costa Rica, Morocco, Borneo, Thailand, Peru and India.
Another destination for unforgettable family travels is a trip to the Galapagos. This program stays on two different islands rather than the traditional cruise yacht experience giving you and the kids a chance to explore some of the local villages on your own in the evenings while taking day excursions out on boats to see the incredible wildlife.
Why Family Travels with A Group Tour?
If you love to travel and explore yourself, you get that the world is a bigger place, and there’s space in everyone’s lives to grow with travel. Having younger kids along gives you a new look and gives them the first impressions of other ways of life. Traveling with a group saves you all the headaches of planning and arranging. They are engaging and active for the kids with down-time for you, if you want it. The children will meet others and probably make friends for life. You too. Single parents can especially enjoy this type of travel.
Teens and travel? Sometimes you might wonder if there is a special kind of hell. But if you can catch them while they still like you, you can create a great transition for them to adulthood with travel.
At this time, it is a perfect time to think about taking the family away. These pre-planned group trips can fit the bill nicely but also know that we can do private tours of almost any published trip for just your family or we can create something entirely tailor made. Skiing in Chile anyone?
